Owner Service 13; Daily Service; Fork Removal - Woods PFW2242S2 Operator's Manual

The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,
your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the safety informa-
tion in this manual.
■ Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow
all safety rules and safety decal information.
(Replacement manuals and safety decals are
available from your dealer. To locate your near-
est dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.
WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States
and Canada call 1-800-319-6637.) Failure to fol-
low instructions or safety rules can result in
serious injury or death.
■ NEVER GO UNDERNEATH EQUIPMENT. Never
place any part of the body underneath equip-
ment or between moveable parts even when the
engine has been turned off. Hydraulic system
leak-down, hydraulic system failures, mechan-
ical failures, or movement of control levers can
cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpectedly
and cause severe injury or death.
• Service work does not require going
underneath.
• Read Operator's Manual for service in-
structions or have service performed by a
qualified dealer.
■ Make sure shields and guards are proper-
ly installed and in good condition. Replace if
damaged.
■ Before leaving operator's seat, lower lift arms
and put attachment on the ground. Engage
brake, stop engine, remove key, and remove
seat belt.
■ Before performing service work that requires re-
pair or replacement of parts, remove attachment
from power unit. Hydraulic system failures, me-
chanical failures, or movement of control can
cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpectedly
and cause severe injury or death.
■ Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
■ Fork Tines are heavy and can cause muscle
strain or back injury. Use lifting aids and proper
lifting techniques when installing and removing.

tive equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing,

chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins
